1. Design

[{"selector":"#anim-55c92545-b4a2-40b4-9658-0da298c232b5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ecda09a1-b271-44b2-a7b6-5ec063701be3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 158.99200%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dd6e2081-9121-42f2-989f-614cde3f0bf3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(22.572481311103672%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] The new MacBook is the world's thinnest 15-inch laptop, with just enough solidity to prevent it from snapping in your hands.

2. Screen

[{"selector":"#anim-7926c70a-01ea-4702-a68d-b107f861caea","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-87f27767-3b35-40b0-8b2e-b32565ec5f6f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 210.96299%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] The new Air features an upgraded screen that is brighter and sharper than before.

3. Audio

[{"selector":"#anim-05fded33-d975-4fca-bbef-bea1e4d44b55","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a34f6e56-ce82-42d5-8d8c-2f7be5c6a395","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 174.45595%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Despite being a non-pro machine, the MacBook Air 15" surprises with a six-speaker sound system capable of spatial audio.

4. Performance

[{"selector":"#anim-a4724d21-6af1-4436-a915-b94a851eee2c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-37ad3aa7-9eec-4ef6-b4e3-4f3c9c26fdfd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 202.29100%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] MacBook Air 15" is powered by Apple's M2 CPU. it is well optimized and feels almost instant for all day-to-day work.

5. Battery Life

[{"selector":"#anim-00989726-57ef-42dd-b8ae-8e86c7405e76","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d820a2b9-a58d-4a08-8349-c1e7dad59489","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 180.02505%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2e87c614-50c6-488e-9ff9-f6266cefa7c7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-27.925188470727708%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] Based on my previous experience with the 13-inch model, the battery life is projected to be exceptional. Apple claims up to 18 hours of battery life.
